The XSL-as-web-service is intriguing but I do have some concerns about a
command-line processor. The comment George makes about the JVM startup
overhead can be extended to most things run from the command line -
there will be system-related activity that has little to do with the
work that will be incurred each time. If this is a concern for XSLT the
processor can be properly hosted within the web server. Saxon is ideal
for this as it is Java based. It would be fairly straightforward to
create a web service for this purpose that could be dropped into a J2EE
container and run on whatever kind of platform you like (Windows, Linux,
Unix, Mac, etc.), and it doesn't have to be the same OS as the client.
With Saxon's support for pipelining transformations some of those
concerns could be addressed as well. My main concern with the web
service approach in general is the amount of data that would need to be
transmitted across the network. That may be the real limiting factor in
this.
